Description

FYI  I now suspect that this sword may not be an original, but a Victorian era copy. So, please bid accordingly.
Here is another katzbalger side arm sword, carried by the Swiss landsknecht infantry men. Typically constructed hilt with long quillons curved into a large S. Floral shaped iron pommel with piercings. All parts are tight. Broad, double edged blade has 2 deep fullers on one side, and only one fuller on the other side.  There are no markings that I can find.
Overall length 31 1/2″. Blade 25 1/4″ long X 1 9/16″ wide.
